What's W hat dnd Where Attractions Soon to Be Seen in Washington Theaters “The Piccoli” Monday at the National OMETHING novel in theatrical fare will be ushered into Wash- ington with the new adminis- tration when “The Piccoli” of Vittorl Podrecca comes to the National Theater next week weighted | down with 141 tons of theatrical prop- erites and 0 performing actors of a “new and amazing species wvastly superior to the human Trace.” It is a new form of theater which this widely travel- ed maestro from Rome will offer. To the naked eye, { his Piceoli theater presents & pot- pourri of variety and music hall sketches, fantasies, circus, burlesque and comic opera se- lections. But upon profounder consid- eration, hip wood and paint characters make a rious iz zhing stock of the entire huMan race, using as the butt of their ridicule the vanities, affectations and attitudes of the so-called “homo saniens.” n addition to satire, Podrecca’s show which boasts of being the largest little theater in the world provides an ele- ment which is sorely needed in the con- temporary theater—the element of fan- tasy. This is displayed in a fairy-tale opera, “The Sleeping Beauty,” for which the modern composer Respighi especially wrote the music. Evening programs of “The Piccoli” will be comprised of 20 variety sketches and a selection from the Japanese musical play of Sidney Jones, “The| Geisha.” The matinees will offer 13 sketches and “The Sleeping Beauty” in seven scenes.
